Four times nominated in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and double winners of the Spiral Earth Awards, Megson create a truly unique brand of folk music. Combining an infectious mix of heavenly vocals, lush harmonies and driving rhythmic guitars, Megson have gained a reputation not only for their arresting and intelligent songwriting, but also for their exquisite musicianship and northern humour.

Comprising Debs Hanna (Vocals, Whistle, Piano Accordion) and Stu Hanna (Guitar, Mandola, Banjo), Megson have been described as 'the most original duo on the British folk scene' by The Guardian, and, as fRoots Magazine puts it, ‘if you don’t like the music here then you have a problem’.

Liking to keep busy, Megson have recorded thirteen studio albums across their twenty year career gaining four and five star reviews from The Guardian, Mojo, The Telegrao, Uncut, The Financial Times, whilst The Observer pronounced them ‘A force in the folk revival’. Even lockdown 2020 couldn’t hold them back as they performed a hugely popular series of livestream concerts to their growing army of followers. And during all this time, Stu even managed to be involved with other artists, producing and recording award winning music for Show of Hands, Odette Mitchell, Lucy Ward and Faustus & the Young'uns. Now they are back doing what they do best, on the road promoting a brand-new studio album What Are We Trying To Say. Catch them if you can.
